THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 41 NOTE: Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appropriate child restraint. • The Passenger Air Bag Disable (PAD) Indicator Light (an amber light located in the center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front passenger when the front passenger air bag is turned off. The PAD indicator lamp illuminates the front passenger air bag icon and the words ЉPASS AIR BAG OFFЉ to show that the passenger air bag will not inflate during a collision requiring air bags. When the right front passenger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the passenger air bag will not inflate even though the PAD indicator lamp is not illuminated. 2 Passenger Airbag Disable Light The PAD indicator light should not be illuminated when teenagers, most children in a forward-facing child restraint or booster seats, most children that can properly wear the vehicle's seat belt, and when an adult passenger is properly seated in the front passenger seat. In this case, the air bag is ready to be inflated if a collision requiring an air bag occurs.
